Personal Experiences

This page shows submissions from our users about their personal experiences of victim blaming. This includes descriptions of their experiences of domestic and sexual violence and abuse. They may contain language that is uncomfortable or upsetting to read, so please be mindful of this.

We do moderate submissions and will not publish any that contain hate speech or confidential information. This is to help keep our users safe.

We do NOT give permission for posts to be reproduced, translated or otherwise published elsewhere. We will not contact people who submit their personal experiences on behalf of journalists, bloggers or other third sector organisations. These testimonies remain the intellectual copyright of their authors and must be treated with the ethical guidelines used by academics for research involving human subjects. Our full guidelines can be read here.
